  "account": "Devpost hackathons are a powerful tool for boosting developer engagement and adoption. By combining a Devpost hackathon with a HackerNoon blogging contest, companies can drive even greater results. HackerNoon's extensive reach, with over four million monthly readers and one million social media followers, allows for maximum distribution and long-term visibility for hackathon projects. This approach extends the life of a hackathon by providing evergreen content that remains discoverable beyond the event. Additionally, HackerNoon's domain authority of 87 enables organic SEO, GEO, and AEO visibility, driving product adoption and showcasing real-world applications of the technology used in the hackathon. A case study involving RevenueCat's Shipaton hackathon demonstrates the success of this strategy. By offering a $2,500 prize pool and running a two-month blogging contest from August 1 to September 30, 2026, RevenueCat was able to publish over 30 articles, generate press releases, and achieve strong Google News visibility for \"Shipaton.\" The co-branded landing page, launch announcements, homepage promotion, newsletter promotion, and social amplification further amplified the hackathon's impact. This strategy creates a valuable library of content around the hackathon, giving the sponsoring technology additional visibility and ensuring that the innovations built during the event are given the online proof they deserve.",
